A St. George smoke shop owner who pleaded guilty in August to dealing synthetic drug substitutes such as Spice was sentenced Tuesday to serve 180 days in jail following his conviction on felony counts of distribution of a controlled substance and misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance.

Jeremy Allen Wright, who turns 37 today, was granted credit for 90 days already served in jail and will spend another 45 weekends in jail, two days at a time, to allow him to maintain his job. He must also complete 100 hours of community service.
